Pause

I feel as if I'm at that moment when the conductor has his baton raised, but the music has paused at the end of a movement. I would like this pause to last for a week, but I can feel the next movement about to follow. I'm not wary of the next section, but I would like for the rest at the end of this line to last just a little longer so I can catch my breath, and lay my bow on my lap. (Or sleep, get a massage, and soak in a hot spring, repeat).

It's amazing how much work can go into things that are unseen. I breathe freely and with relief. I smile and soften. I am soon to be ready for movement beyond the pause.
